Tuesday night, Virginia lost to Liberty at Palmer Park. Senior pitcher Mikayla Houge threw a complete game, seven full innings of one-run ball, allowing just two hits and one walk. For the Flames, freshman pitcher Katie Love also threw a complete game but allowed six hits. The difference in the game was a single in the fifth inning, followed up by a stolen base and two consecutive groundouts to score the Liberty runner. Despite allowing no extra base hits and issuing just one free pass, Houge notched a loss for Tuesday’s performance, a continuation of a troubling trend — the offense struggles to match the success of the pitching staff, leading to low-scoring losses and missed opportunities.
It is less than a month away from the end of the spring semester and the warming weather is a sign that the freedom of summer break is almost here. With an influx in free time on the horizon for University students, many will have the opportunity to partake in the activities they lost touch with during the school year. For some, this means finally being able to crack open a book not on their required reading list, and what better source to get book recommendations from than the University's renowned English professors.

While the period between finishing high school and starting college is typically a few months, some students embark on a longer journey by taking a gap year, which may entail traveling abroad, working locally or volunteering for a non-profit organization. Many gap-year students initially have doubts about taking a year off from school, but the experience was worthwhile for these four University students. A gap year solidified their career goals, prepared them for college and broadened their outlooks on the world.
I have gone to Bodo’s Bagels almost every day of the academic calendar for the last two years. Being a “creature of habit” has always suited me, but my daily Bodo’s trip has taken this to a new level. I go every day at noon to order a plain bagel with plain cream cheese. I get it “to-go,” but I eat it there, and I use the bag as a placemat. No matter what changes in my life — with school, my friends or my love life — my daily stop at Bodo’s is one constant, always providing me comfort, joy and, of course, bagels.

Harper Jones, chair of the University Judiciary Committee and third-year College student, began her term Sunday as members of the executive committee gave farewell speeches, welcoming the representatives that will be taking their roles. A key focus of many of the speeches was the “unprecedented” nature of the previous term in reference to the rise in cases threatening physical safety.
Laura Howard, newly elected Honor Committee chair and third-year College student, led the Committee through their first public meeting of the term Sunday. The meeting began with a welcome and introduction for new representatives and executive committee members, and shifted into a discussion regarding possible improvements for the Committee’s standing subcommittees — two of which are new additions this term.
“Whose side are you on?” A group of 10 University students playfully pass around this question before a buoyant piano accompaniment breaks the chatter. As a soloist leans into a microphone and sings “Who’s on The Lord’s Side” by Rev. Timothy Wright, the other vocalists encourage her with eager cheers and shouts.
In the past few weeks, first-year students may have noticed a unique table set up by Observatory Hill Dining Hall. It wasn’t Chi Alpha or the Hullabahoos but the University Police Department. At this table, UPD was giving a simple notice to students — we are going to start pulling over your electric scooters. These notices are not the first action taken against electric scooters, and they may not be the last. Rather, these notices represent one among many actions taken by Charlottesville and the University to recenter pedestrian safety in their urban planning. Although it is perhaps the bare minimum, it is nonetheless laudable that the University and Charlottesville are beginning to prioritize the safety of pedestrians, especially in an impressively multi-pronged approach.
According to the University, it aims to graduate a diverse range of students who have been genuinely included and valued in this community and who go on to become leaders who are able to face the multicultural complexities of our world. This language theoretically demands supporting Palestinian students, yet the University’s actions are at odds with its stated commitment, particularly amidst rising Islamophobia and xenophobia. The administration’s failure to condemn blatant discrimination only leads to more discrimination, fostering an atmosphere that misinterprets pro-Palestinian sentiments as support of terrorism — leading to a rise in harassment that targets Muslim and Arab students.
A slap, a push and a spat. This is not the start to some rhythmic nursery rhyme. Rather, it is the experience of one Jewish first-year student who no longer feels comfortable on Grounds because of the prevalent antisemitism that has only been exacerbated since the horrific Oct. 7 attack on Israel. Though the civilian casualties in Gaza are heart-breaking, they are no justification for antisemitism at the University. Despite this simple fact, the reaction to antisemitism on the part of University administration and leadership has been woefully inadequate — it has both failed to offer effective solutions to help protect its Jewish community and has also neglected to discuss the issue in an open and approachable manner that involves the wider University community. The University must better protect and support Jewish students.
Riding a five-game winning streak entering last weekend’s series against Notre Dame, Virginia won decisively Sunday afternoon to take two of three in Notre Dame, Ind. The Cavaliers (26-11, 9-6 ACC) had won just five of 27 previous matchups against the Fighting Irish (22-14, 7-8 ACC), turning the historical tables and heading back to Charlottesville with a series victory.
After remaining undefeated in ACC play for over a month, No. 4 Virginia women’s tennis suffered its first conference loss Friday at the hands of No. 6 North Carolina. Although the Cavaliers (18-3, 10-1 ACC) defeated the Tar Heels (16-3, 10-1 ACC) earlier this season at the ITA National Team Indoor Championship, they faltered this weekend, losing 4-1, and lost sole possession of best conference record. However, Virginia bounced back quickly Sunday in another top-25 matchup, besting No. 20 Duke, 4-3. The Cavaliers were determined to grind out victory, defeating the Blue Devils (13-7, 6-5 ACC), despite multiple competitive tiebreakers.
The City of Charlottesville has plans for the expansion of its sidewalk system over the coming years, prioritizing numerous new sidewalks in different locations around the city, including near Grounds on Emmet Street and Jefferson Park Avenue. With concerns over pedestrian safety and the quality of existing sidewalks, some members of the University community have discussed challenges and possible solutions that would make Charlottesville a more walkable, safe and equitable city.
Mary Beth Tinker, the plaintiff of historic Supreme Court case “Tinker v. Des Moines,” spoke on Grounds as part of the Jefferson Literary and Debating Society’s Distinguished Speaker Series Friday. During the speech, titled “Academic Freedom in a Time of Book Bans and ‘Plausible Genocide’ in Gaza,” Tinker spoke about her experiences before and during the landmark case, the importance of freedom of speech and the importance of youth activism in relation to current events.
